MAPublisher Training Videos

Avenza Systems has partnered with Red Geographics to offer a complete set of MAPublisher training videos. These tutorial videos, while not intended to replace a hands-on training course, will offer you a complete rundown of all MAPublisher features through a number of practical exercises. All necessary tutorial data is included in the package so that you can work along with the videos.

The hi-res Quicktime videos were developed by Hans van der Maarel of Red Geographics, a cartographer and GIS consultant with over ten years of experience using MAPublisher and Adobe Illustrator. Special care was taken to match the tutorials to real-world applications of MAPublisher.

Whether you are a long-time MAPublisher user, keeping your cartography skills up-to-date, or a novice with no prior experience, these tutorial videos are an ideal way to learn about MAPublisher.
